Just FYI, you can edit the post... from the Blog Now! link then Manage/Entries when it gives you the blank form, then click on the desired title...

The "chain" button allows hyperlinking in the normal mode. Or if you copy paste what shows up in your post into html mode, it might come out correctly.

It's nice to see someone with major cred saying what a vast chorus of us have been saying for a long time now. But we're just millions of nobodies and easily ignored in the halls of power. After all, what do any of us know right? This guy, however, cannot be ignored so easily.
